    :lol:

    I actually quite like Floyd, so I wouldn't want to see him ground into dust. I would however like to see Duran v Mosley at 135. I quite like Mosley too, but the way his fans say he is an ATG lightweight really irritates me, as he never fought anyone at that weight to justify such an accolade. We would see v Duran how great he really was...

    Agreed. Shane's biggest wins were without question above 135.

    I respect yours too, I apologize if I was rude before, I always get a bit heated when I think anyone is criticizing or underrating Roberto, as I'm sure you can understand from your brilliant avatar! :good

    Perfect.

    Still, I'd rather see Ray Robinson come back and chew through Margo, Cotto, Berto, Clottey, Forrest, Williams, Sergei Whathisname, Santos, Pavlik, Abraham, Sturm and finally, fight for the LHW title against Chad Dawson.

    Add all those names to his resume! As a matter of fact that'd be a decent record minus Fullmer, LaMotta etc. Shame there isn't someone with the size/structure to go through all those divisions now.

    Oh, wait, there is.....

    :good :good :good Ali would make fun of the gay Klitschko's. Probably nicknakme them "The Russian Robots" and **** with them relentlessly, before he took them apart, made them miss for 12 rounds, and UD both of them, and while he was taking their belts, he'd be in the other brother's face, sprouting poetry, and asking them "Who is the GREATEST" with cameras rolling.

    But Duran, a 147 pound Welterweight Duran, the one who ****ed up Leonard in Montreal? I'd do anything to see him against today's Oscar de la Hoya. That would be like putting a 1/2 dead large mouse, into a cage with a hungry 14 foot Puff Adder.

    I actually think Ali would K.O wlad and stp Vitali on cuts if he were around today.

    God knows what he'd say to Arreola! That'd be funny.

    Would rather see Duran fight Prime DLH at WW. Today's DLH wouldn't even be funny, it'd end up like a tragic fight.

    I'd personally like to see Duran back.I know we need a dominant heavyweight but it wouldn't be much fun would it? Ali dominating a weak division. Duran was more of a 'badass' and imagine him fighting between 135-147. Think about the fights that could be made. Duran v Pac, JMM, Diaz, Hatton, Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, Oscar, Mayweather if he were to comeback. That would be ****ing amazing. Plus Duran's press conferences would be fun as well. He'd need a translator but it's be way better than the **** Mayorga comes out with.

    Ali hands down the HW divison sucks right now and Ali would be its savior.:deal A weak HW division is one the main reasons why boxing is declining in popularity.

    I'd go with Ali although imagine how ****ing unbelievable a Duran vs Pacquiao fight would have been.

    Duran is an ATG but Ali is an international icon, a legend. Like a Martin Luther King and a Michael Jordan put into 1.
